June 22, 2007

Today was a really fun day! We first started off at the dining hall singing our Thursday morning song with Mr. Frank and Scott. We had breakfast, a quiet time, and then we went into the chapel for worship. During the worship the kids were so excited!! After worship, each team went to their team rooms and had a Bible study. We had a canteen break and then went back to Bible study. Then it was off to team tables to cheer our hearts out! The Purple team (the church leaders) won the spirit flag today! At 11:00 we went on the hill and played a bunch of games such as: the football toss, three-legged race, and the sack race. After playing all of the games everyone went down to the lake and 4 campers from each team participated in the canoe sink! The red team won!! At 12:30 we went to lunch and after lunch we had the P-Nut patch play-offs! At 2:15 the kids’ excitement grew even larger! They started buying shaving cream for the shaving cream fight!! From 2:45 to 3:15 the kids, staffers, and leaders had a huge shaving cream fight!! It was a lot of fun to see everyone with shaving creams all over them! Right after the shaving cream fight we went straight to the lake to wash off. During lake time there were many things the campers could do! Kids could go down the new slide called “Wet Willy”, go canoeing, jump off the diving board, and go down the zip line! Also, throughout the day, many kids went on the Ropes Course! After the lake we got ready, went to supper, and then went to chapel for our last service. The kids were pumped up and sang to all the songs and then listened to Mr. Frank’s message. After the message each church broke off into groups and prayed together. Then the staffers lined up at the front of the stage and hugged each camper goodbye. Next, we all went to canteen break and played volleyball and just had a good time! Mr. Frank and Scott had a big surprise for the kids! We had homemade ice cream! It was yummy! Around 9:00 we went to our cabins and let the campers stay up later for their last night at Camp Longridge. We all had a lot of fun today!!!
